The yobject of my invention is to provide a new and improved drivencompound spindle which is composed of few parts, is siml ple inconstruction, perfectly lubricated and in which friction isreduced to aminimum thus permittingof running it at exceptionally high speed.`

In theaccompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicatelike arts in all the figures: Figure 1 is a vertica sectional view ofmyimproved compound spindle. Fig. 2 is a plan view.

The whirl A is made integral with the tubular spool holder B whichlatter is provided with a prepa-red wood lining` Gland lwith a 'woodplug D secured in the top of the spool'holder, preferably by means of apin E. The spindle blade F rests loosely in a bolster or sleeve Gprovided at its closed bottom with a. step bearing H for the spindleblade and this sleeve is inserted into a vertical tubular socket Jformed on the spindle holder K, said socket-being surrounded by thewhirl. A key' L is driven into registering grooves -in the interior ofthe socket J andthe exterior of the sleeve Gr to hold the latter andprevent it from turning. A series of holes MV extend through the wallsof the sleeve or bolster G and slots N are cut through the lower part ofthe sleeve or bolster. The socket J is made integral with an oilreceptacle O having a cover P and communicating with the socket by meansof a .channel Q. The holder is passed through the rail R and held inplace by a nut S screwed on the lower threaded wooden block or plug Drests upon the upper rounded end of the spindle blade and the l Woodenlining surrounds the upper part of l i and an oil compartmentcommunicating withA i said socket, substantially as set forth.
